But the release of its latest remake, “The Lion King,” should further cement the company’s rule at the box office. The movie , which uses innovative computer graphics to create a photo-realistic version of the animated musical, should become another hit for the Burbank entertainment firm, which has dominated the box office. As Disney feasts at cinemas, rivals have been left to scavenge for box office leftovers. Box office for the second quarter (the three months that ended with June) was down 3.7% from the prior year. “The Lion King” has already opened in China, the world’s second-largest box office market.
